The new camera features of the iPhone 16 Pro
4K video at 120 fps
One of the biggest innovations in the iPhone 16 Pro is the ability to record videos in 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. This means you can create particularly smooth and sharp videos that are ideal for slow motion recording. This is a significant improvement over the previous model, which only offered 60 fps in 4K.
ProRes video and QuickTake
Interesting for ambitious filmmakers: With external storage, you can even record ProRes videos in 4K and 120 fps. QuickTake, Apple's fast video recording function, has also been improved - in the future you will be able to record directly in 4K instead of just in 1080p.
8K video recording: A glimpse into the future?
There are indications that Apple has also tested 8K video recording for the iPhone 16 Pro. However, it is still unclear whether this feature will actually be activated. In any case, the new A18 Pro chip would be able to process 8K videos. If this feature does not make it into the iPhone 16 Pro, it could be available in a future model.
New photo formats and styles
Apple is also bringing new image formats and improved photographic styles into play. With support for JPEG-XL, you can take lossy and lossless photos. Picture styles have also been improved to render skin tones even more realistically - perfect for portraits.
48-megapixel ultra-wide angle and 5x zoom
The iPhone 16 Pro will be equipped with a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor. Both Pro models (Pro and Pro Max) also offer a 5x optical zoom, which was previously only available on the Pro Max. This allows you to take detailed photos even from a great distance.
New camera button
The introduction of a new camera button is particularly exciting. This pressure-sensitive button allows you to perform various functions: by pressing lightly you focus the image, a firm press triggers the recording. You can also change the zoom or exposure settings by swiping. The button not only works with Apple's camera app but also with third-party apps such as Instagram or Snapchat.
The new Apple smartphone offers impressive camera features
The iPhone 16 Pro sets new standards in smartphone photography and videography. With 4K videos at 120 fps, the potential option for 8K recording and an innovative camera button, it offers everything you need for high-quality recordings.
